Our name. la established by our The Double-Barrele- d Cannon. Invented, It was conceived with a peculiar Idea by the Inventor, John Gillel&nd, a member of the Mitchell Thunderbolts, a local military company at Athens during the war. . The Mitchell Thunderbolts was a company composed of men too old for active service in the field, and was organized purely for home defense. Mr. Gilleland, the inventor, believed that with a cannon of the double barrel pattern he could mow down Yankees by the hundreds. He had his cannon cast at the Athens foundry, and. when finished. It was hauled out to the outskirts xrf the city, where a test was made. One test was entirely sufficient to demonstrate that the canA non was a rank failure. Chain, with the ends Attached to two cannon balls was the charge. The balls were rammed Into the cannon good and bard. It was the inventors idea that when the cannon was fired the chain would stretch taut and cift down everything within Us length. When It was properly loaded- - It was touched off with great ceremony. One ot the halls got out a little ahead of the other, and the devil and Tom Jones was to pay. It had a kind of circular motion, plowing up about an acre of ground, tore up a corn field, mowed down saplings, and the chain broke. One of the balls killed a young cow In n distant field, while the other knocked down n chimney from a log cabin. The members of the Thunderbolts who went out to witness the test scattered as though the entire Yankee army had turned loose in that vicinity. That one test was enough to convince the Inventor .that his double London.

In the belief that proper seating facilities play an important part in the welfare of school children, George W. Ehler, supervisor of physical training, and Director of Schools Charles Orr worked until they have perfected what they believe is the best seat and desk in the country, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. The seat Is constructed according to Ehler's own plans and Is based upon an exhaustive-- - set of- - measurement made by him last year in the schools. It provides support for the child's back,- - where It is most needed, at Jhe base of the spinal column and the small of the back. Another strong point la that the seat proper is pitched backward only slightly, keeping the body at a restful angle. Both seat The new and desk are adjustable. deaks are being Installed In all the new buildings and grow In favor wherever put. Until the perfection of Ehlers Improved seat there were two forms of desk used In the schools. The first was the desk, not adjustable at all. and made In unvarying sixes for the different grades. It presupposed that sll children fa tho same grade would be of a size-Then came the "llTer pad desk. The back of the aeat in this style of desk consisted of a single concave rest, to be placed a.t. that point where the child's back most needed support. This xv63 faulty In two respects. In the first place it was narrow and held the child's body In a vlse-llkgrip and In the second It gave support at only one point, whereas the spine requires support at several points. d e THAT RARE ANIMAL, MARL Seldom Caught Befors' 8 OClock London, Never in Day Time, In Time was when London was one of the capitals where man could be discerned with the naked eye la the daytime; but now he Is almost Invisible except at certain favored spots In the city and a few eclectfe. clubs at Pall ' Mall.
